NEA Recovery grants benefit several Baltimore-area arts groups
While politicians and bloviators in the various media debate whether the federal stimulus package has actually produced any results, a whole bunch of arts groups around the country can point to honest-to-goodness money awarded this week by the NEA.
The grants, totaling $50 million, are part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and are aimed specifically at helping organizations retain arts jobs that would otherwise be lost because of the economic downturn.
Here are some of the local recipients:
Baltimore Symphony Orchestra: $50,000
Greater Baltimore Youth Orchestra Association: $25,000
CenterStage: $50,000
Baltimore Museum of Art: $50,000
Museum for Contemporary Arts: $25,000
Baltimore Clayworks: $25,000
Fells Point Creative Alliance: $50,000
Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts: $250,000
Maryland State Arts Council: $318,600
